Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power was nearly depleted. Upon discovering this formidable enemy, he quickly warned Dugu Feng.
They could only rely on Dugu Feng now.
Dugu Feng had already pinpointed the location of the attacking foe.
As for this Tornado Soul Skill, Dugu Feng didn't evade it.
He had already assessed the Wolf Bandit Leader's strength.
Although the Soul Skill was powerful, it couldn't harm him.
His fourth Spirit Ring lit up, and a barely perceptible cold light shot out.
"Icefire Poison Erosion!"
The cold light pierced straight through the tornado, swift as lightning, and penetrated the Wolf Bandit Leader's heart.
Meanwhile, Dugu Feng was engulfed by the tornado.
Yet when the wind subsided, Dugu Feng stood there completely unscathed.
With three External Soul Bones and three Soul Bones within him,
and his Eight Spider Lances having evolved further, his upper body seemed encased in Ruby Armor—how could a Wolf Bandit Leader at the Soul King level possibly damage such physical resilience?
"Huh! Still struggling!"
Dugu Feng looked in surprise at the Wolf Bandit Leader opposite.
It actually hadn't died.
Icefire Poison Erosion was a purely single-target attack skill; even a Soul Emperor would be completely poisoned by the dual ice and fire toxins upon being pierced.
But this Wolf Bandit Leader radiated a deep cyan glow, continuously resisting the toxins seeping into its body.
Just then, violent explosions echoed around them—the lives of these gray Wolf Bandits had finally reached their end.
With the Deadly Poison spreading and the Poison Burst Technique in effect, these Wolf Bandits had no power to resist.
Walking the path of extreme poison, Dugu Feng feared group attacks the least.
His poison was too potent; contact meant certain death, making it a dimensional downgrade for these Wolf Bandits whose strength was beneath his.
Only this Wolf Bandit Leader remained, surprisingly enduring the Icefire Poison Erosion attack.
"This Wolf Bandit has strong recovery and a resilient body!"
Feng Xiaotian walked over, suppressing his discomfort.
"It seems there's indeed something special here—there must be some opportunity!"
Dugu Feng stated with certainty.
Feng Xiaotian smiled wryly. Wind Attribute Soul Masters from their academy often trained here and knew this place was unusual.
But no one had ever discovered the reason.
The Wolf Bandit Leader opposite them persisted a while longer until finally, the deep cyan glow dimmed, and it died unwillingly.
Dugu Feng released the Emerald Dragon Snake to clean up the battlefield.
He and Feng Xiaotian headed deeper into the valley, toward the Wolf Bandit Leader's dwelling.
"Wind sounds—there are wind sounds similar to those in Hurricane Canyon here!"
When the two reached a spacious cave, they noticed something different.
The cave was very low; only after entering did they realize it was a mountain fissure.
A continuous whooshing sound emanated from within the crack.
Moreover, the Wind Attribute Soul Power had become much purer.
"That Wolf Bandit Leader must have grown by harnessing the Wind Attribute Soul Power here!" Feng Xiaotian said.
Dugu Feng naturally understood.
He pondered the source of this refined Wind Attribute Soul Power.
Could the depths of these Hurricane Canyons be a place of inheritance?
Among the First-level Gods in the God Realm, there were the famous Seven Element Gods, controlling water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, and space respectively.
Could this be the Wind God's inheritance ground?
Thinking this, Dugu Feng's enthusiasm for exploration cooled considerably.
After all, even with the Wind God's inheritance, he couldn't inherit the Wind God Position.
Feng Xiaotian would be more suitable to inherit the Wind God Position.
For now, let's continue dealing with the Wolf Bandits!
Dugu Feng scouted the surroundings and walked out of the valley with Feng Xiaotian.
Ning Rongrong had already entered after the battle ended.
She was also startled by the bloody scene.
She knew very well this was Dugu Feng's Second Soul Skill, the Poison Burst Technique.
She had seen Dugu Feng use it before.
But she hadn't expected its power in actual combat to be so immense.
She felt both excited and disturbed by such a scene.
Back then, to overcome her fear of snakes, she had forced herself to confront poisonous creatures despite her timidity.
After all these years, it went without saying that her mentality had grown much stronger.
These scenes were something she would have to experience sooner or later.
During the earlier battle, she had watched the entire process through the mental extension of her Illusion Control Skill.
"Let's go, rest for a day, then head to the next Wolf Bandit stronghold!" Dugu Feng said.
There were many Wolf Bandits, not just in this one location.
Having witnessed Dugu Feng's strength, Feng Xiaotian was also full of confidence.
Facing Soul King-level Wolf Bandits, Dugu Feng handled them with ease.
Not to mention his Emerald Dragon Snake hadn't even made a move.
Even if they encountered the anticipated Soul Saint-level Wolf Bandits, they might not necessarily pose a threat to them.
Ning Rongrong was even more enthusiastic.
This kind of life was thrilling and interesting.
Afterward, they set out every other day, with the Emerald Dragon Snake's reconnaissance.
One by one, the Wolf Bandit strongholds were located.
In every battle, Dugu Feng only used his Spirit Ring Skills and the Slaughter God Domain to train, deepening his understanding of his Martial Soul and Killing Intent.
He didn't use his Spirit Bone Abilities, External Soul Bone, Eight-Angle Black Ice Herb, or Blazing Apricot Delight—these major trump cards.
Three months later, they encountered their first Soul Saint-level Wolf Bandit Leader.
Relying solely on his Spirit Ring Skills and Slaughter Power, Dugu Feng still managed to kill this Wolf Bandit Leader.
After so much slaughter, his Slaughter Power grew increasingly stronger.
The Twelve Fingers of Slaughter, Slaughter Assault, and Asura Slaughter Formation had all reached their peak.
Dugu Feng felt his Slaughter Domain was on the verge of evolving.
After the Slaughter Domain would come the Asura Domain, where Killing Intent would transform into the higher-level Asura Power.
Simultaneously, he would be detected by the Divine Sense the Asura God had left on the continent, becoming a successor candidate to inherit the Asura God Position.
The reason he was only a successor candidate was that Tang Chen hadn't died yet.
Bibi Dong obtained the Slaughter God Domain in Slaughter City, later transforming it into the Rakshasa Domain and inheriting the Rakshasa God Position.
Tang Hao's Slaughter God Domain simply never evolved; he wasted this greatest opportunity during his long period of despondency.
His grandfather, Tang Chen, evolved his Slaughter God Domain into the Asura Domain after obtaining it, then gained the Asura God's recognition and began the God Test.
Now, Tang Chen was possessed by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, but the God Test was actually still ongoing.
Later, when Tang Chen regained clarity, he immediately received the inheritance power; as long as his body could withstand it, he could become the Asura God right away.
The relationship between Tang Chen and Dugu Feng was like that of a crown prince and a prince.
Tang Chen possessed the Asura Demon Sword and had the recognition of both the Asura Demon Sword and the Asura God. As long as he lived, he was the primary heir to the Asura God Position.
Even if Dugu Feng's Slaughter God Domain evolved, he would only be considered a successor candidate qualified to begin the God Test.
But if the crown prince doesn't die, how can the prince advance further?
Dugu Feng had sorted out these relationships very clearly.
He should first focus on evolving the Slaughter God Domain.
Once he cultivated the Asura Power, he would become a legitimate prince!
With this thought in mind,
the Wolf Bandits across the entire border region suffered greatly.
The border stretched vast from east to west.
Dugu Feng and his two companions meticulously cleared out these endlessly troublesome Wolf Bandits.
